There are so much to be grateful in this life and I hope that meeting you through this account is something that we'll be grateful for together someday.
@TimHaldorsson as it has always been.
idk why "funding" became so much of a thing on start-ups as if it's the end point of it all.
quite the opposite in fact.
@shawmakesmagic can affirm on reading clubs.
i'm not based on SF but i went to a book fair the other day and the women to men ratio is insane lol.
probably 8 : 2
@jpeg_yakuza i hope i still have that massive reach i had back in 2023 but i'm washed af rn.
even so, giving this post a massive UP and vouch!
these guys are amazing folks to work with.
@BrightAvian fwiw, Toly has already disabled reply on his posts since earlier this year.
(mainly to the adamant amount of bot replies trying to farm under his posts)
Hi, Vivek!
as shameful as it sounds, i don't have IG so it was only today on your ping that i was able to play this clip.
but genuinely, thank you for this!
such a beautiful reminder that beyond our earthly works - it's our heart that God sees at the end of the day. our desires, our faith, our belief, words that we can even barely utter.
because beyond anyone, no one knows us more than our creator himself.

this is very fitting as i revisit my faith back once again after years being astray and being too occupied with all the grind that i've been doing in this space.
i may have lost a lot of things now materially but glad that I've gained something far more worthy than anything else back again.
my faith.
Bless you brother!
i was honestly concerned about the nobody sausage issue.
fwiw, i'd consider NS as one of their strongest IP / collab partner back then. they're just fitting together in a lot of sense.
and i was surprised to see (i guess last month?) that the person behind NS is posting some exposรฉ about Claynosaurz / Heebo.
but even so, i think it would be legally smarter and healthier for both teams to just rather settle this in private rather than lashing out in public.
i've been using iphone for 6 years now and i didn't even know that some of the features that this guy listed here exists lol.
if it wasnt just for auto-update, i'm pretty sure, that i havent updated my phone intentionally for the past 3+ years since I bough it.
i don't even take pictures of myself. my entire gallery is just filled with:
1. picture of my dogs
2. photo of the foods that I cooked
3. screenshots of random essays, quotes, memes
now that i've deleted TG, X and discord on it, it's sole purpose is just for browsing facebook reels and for food delivery.
A guy will buy the iPhone 18 Pro Max this month.
He'll transfer his data from his old phone. He'll set a wallpaper. He'll arrange his apps. He'll open Instagram. And for the next 2 years, he'll use the most advanced smartphone ever built to scroll social media, send texts, take photos on auto mode, and check email the same 5 tasks he performed on the iPhone 13 Pro he's replacing.
He won't discover the variable aperture camera that gives him DSLR-level depth-of-field control for the first time in iPhone history. He won't configure the Action Button that replaces 3 daily app-hunting routines with a single press. He won't set the battery charge limit that adds 2 years to the battery's lifespan. He won't use Back Tap to launch shortcuts by tapping the back of the phone twice. He won't adjust the flashlight beam width from spotlight to floodlight. He won't activate the keyboard trackpad hidden inside the spacebar. He won't turn on StandBy mode that transforms the phone into a bedside smart display while charging.
His coworker a former Apple Store Genius who spent 4 years watching customers use 20% of their iPhones told him the iPhone 18 Pro Max ships with iOS 27 and approximately 400 features most owners never open.
"The phone doesn't need to be more powerful. You need to explore more than 20% of what's already there."
She showed him 11 hidden features that transform the iPhone 18 Pro Max from a $1,499 social media scroller into the device Apple actually built.
Here's the full playbook ๐งต
